UNDP in Kuwait

6 Reduce child mortality

Where are we?

Goal is achieved.

Under-five mortality rate was 12.9 per thousand live births in 1993 and declined to 10 per thousand in 2008 recording an annual rate of decline of 1.7 per cent for Kuwait. It needs to be noted that the already high level of achievement recorded suggests that the desired value of the indicator can be fully achieved. Moreover, the target of complete immunization coverage has already been achieved ahead of the time horizon of 2015.
